The frontman and songwriter for Semisonic talks about co-writing with artists like Adele, Dixie Chicks and Gabe Dixon, and performs songs from his album Recovered.

If you were anywhere near a radio around 1998-99, there's no way you missed these lyrics: "Closing time / I know who I want to take me home!" Those lyrics were sung by our guest Dan Wilson, frontman and songwriter for the band Semisonic. "Closing Time" was a huge hit and career-maker for that band when it came out in 1998.
